The Periodic Table

the last thing that I know is that there were (or should be) official restrictions of water usage and fees ... but it's been a while since then so I don't know what's up now

they definitely started doing that, but it's quite unpopular

so it's official but no one cares about?

chipbuster

something like that

PH13

sounds legit

chipbuster

I mean, when the governor started calling for water restrictions in 2014, water usage actually went up for a while

its the kind of thing where if you get just 10% of the population that doesn't care, everyone else's efforts can be offset

that's what it sounds like

there's a community about 30 miles from where I lived that hasn't had tap supplies in over two years now

the river level dropped below their intake pipe

they've been trucking water in at the cost of something like $30k per person per year just to get by

I guess that's what it's like when you live in a dessert :)

chipbuster

well, that's the confusing part

it's in the foothills of an ocean-facing mountain range

classical textbooks say that you should get a lot of rain, since the airmasses drop their moisture as they get pushed to higher elevations

just hasn't worked out that way

and the message is: don't trust in meteorologists

chipbuster

amen

Q: I question the inclusion of edit statements in the posts

In one of my recent answers I made a mistake, which was later corrected and I am thankful, that I don't have to do this myself. In this edit there was at the end the statement edit: updated equation included (link). I don't find this helpful at all, since chances are that future visitors do...
